The new practice - Allies and Morrison:Urban Practitioners - will be based at Allies and Morrison's studios in Southwark. Over the last eight years the two practices have worked in collaboration on a wide range of urban projects. From May 2011, the specialist skills of the two practices will be combined to create a uniquely effective professional service covering planning, masterplanning, consultation and urban design. In bringing together the various disciplines represented by the two practices, the aim is to establish an organisation that is fully equipped to address the complex, contemporary challenges faced by towns and cities not only in this country but around the world. Allies and Morrison: Urban Practitioners will continue to undertake projects suited to Urban Practitioners’ specialisms and experience in planning and regeneration, sustainability, community engagement and conservation. Allies and Morrison will likewise continue its architecture practice. Key design by Allies and Morrison: St Paul’s Place - Sheffield car park building, UK: photo © Adrian Welch The new practice will be led Helen Hayes, Antony Rifkin and the partners of Allies and Morrison. Its first joint project will be Letchworth Garden City where Urban Practitioners and Allies and Morrison have been appointed by the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation as masterplanners for the town centre implementation plan and The Wynd redevelopment. Graham Morrison, partner at Allies and Morrison said: "This is about both practices doing what we do already, but doing it better because of the cross-fertilisation of ideas. This is the best way, we think, of responding to the complexity of the urban context we work in”. Antony Rifkin, managing director of Urban Practitioners said: "We have enjoyed working with Allies and Morrison for many years and our commitment to involving communities at the heart of regeneration and development will form the focus of our new team”.

Charles Street Car Park is an important part of Allies and Morrison's masterplan for the regeneration of St Paul's Place in Sheffield and is distinctive for its visually striking cladding system. Part of the Crown Estate's Regent Street Vision, One Vine Street is a mixed-used development at the south end of Regent Street and comprises the considered regeneration of a Grade II listed building and forms the first phase of Allies and Morrison's masterplan for The Quadrant. The private house in Dunkirk, Kent, involves the transformation of an abandoned gun-tower into a beautiful contemporary private residence. 13b Paradise Street, a centrepiece within the Liverpool One retail development, completes Allies and Morrison's achievement of four awards.

Allies & Morrison Architects - Practice Information

Bob Allies and Graham Morrison set up the office in 1984, founded following its success in the competition for designing a new public square in front of Edinburgh’s National Gallery of Scotland. Recently the practice has taken a stance against ubiquitous 'iconic architecture' (alongside Deyan Sudjic and myself). The studio produces good quality buildings with elegant detailing, often in brick. In an age where anything seems to go Allies & Morrison produce excellent buildings that seem to please both Clients and their architect peers.

Allies and Morrison is one of the country's leading architectural and masterplanning practices. Operating from studios in Southwark, designed by the practice for its own use, Allies and Morrison employs a total of 270 staff led by ten partners, including Graham Morrison and Bob Allies, and eight directors. The current portfolio covers a range of project types including healthcare, offices, student housing, mixed-use, residential, education and arts buildings throughout the UK and abroad.
